Some readers may have thought that this advertisement would focus on a housing estate within the suburb of Cheltenham.
Even I was fooled when coming across it and was even being fooled again in preparing this entry.
Below is a newspaper advertisement that was published in The Daily Telegraph on 14 December 1968.
Blocks were on offer in the estate for $5250 which is equivalent to $68 522 today (RBA Inflation Calculator)
Source: Hooker-Rex. 1968. "New Release! 25 Blocks". The Daily Telegraph, December 14: 48.
Going by the map provided and current maps, Boundary Road would be what is Kurrajong Street, Pennant Hills today.
I believe that the name was given because the estate borders Cheltenham but there is no direct road access from the estate to Cheltenham.
